La Taberna del Gourmet

Great selection of contemporary and traditional Spanish food. Wine list ok, selection quite local, ok if one looks for local specialty, however the Alicante area is not necessarily known for the best wines...but there are some “global” Spanish alternatives available. The food and most of the staff are great, unfortunately some staff is not up to par yet. International crowd, sometimes really annoying folks from up north of Europe, don’t know how to behave in a good Spanish locale.

Great place for high quality Spanish cuisine. Fusion of traditional Spanish food with modern, foreign influence. Great wine list. Fresh sea food from the market, marvelous meats! A ten on my list, coming here every time when in Alicante.

Great food, the paella was amazing!

Good all round experience

Amazing service

Eaten here on 3 occasions and always enjoyed the food and ambience. Great selection of wines, fabulous paella and bread make this a place always worth visiting! Great sister restaurant on the esplanade for breakfast too.

No fallas

Excellent choice for a great lunch in Alicante. Professional staff! Great ambiance!

Very good, our second visit but will not be the last! ????????????

Nice restaurant to be inside, wine selection is good (although if you buy by the glass they seem to be a little tight on the portions,my Rioja was gone in 2 sips at a steed £4 euro a glass, we had the Burrata and pear starter to share which was simply excellent, and the the creamy seafood paella to follow which was tasty yes but hardly any seafood in it and not a huge portion either so to be honest it left me feeling disappointed, £70 for the meal, too expensive I didn’t think we got good value for money here at all. Also loads of waiters in side running around but all left us looking at dirty plates for 15 mins!

We came to your restaurant for my wife birthday, we truly enjoyed the food, it was nice and hot when served and delicious the staff was wonderfull

Excellent. We had the croquettes, pardon peppers and baked goats cheese with honey to share as appetisers / starters. For main Paella - veg and pork, all were exemplary. The puddings were just as special. An absolute treat and well worth the €120 for two adults one child. Worth noting that they also have a phenomenal children’s menu, my daughter (4) had medium / rare steak and chips which were excellent. I will go back and regularly as best place we have found in a while.

The food is fresh and delicious. Service is consistently excellent and the staff is absolutely wonderful! We always have a great experience at this restaurant thanks to them.

Great food and excellent wine selection. We were with a group of eight and service was prompt and friendly. We liked the different seafood paella’s in particular.

I dont think this restaurant lived up to the Tripadvisor hype. We ordered a bottle of wine which we had to top up ourselves, I was presented with a hot dish in prep for a thai green curry which was cold by the time the food arrived. The green curry was actually yellow and there was nothing green in sight and the meat of poor quality. The chocolate mousse was ok but not great, for the price would definitely not recommend!

Nice food, good meat options, could have more vegetarian options, very good wine range.

We visited as a family of four adults. The staff was not as attentive as I think they should be. The order was taken down on the run. We got the feeling of taking time from the waitor if asking questions. And no questions asked from the staff about our needs other than the musts. Water was provided after half the meal The food was not a Gourmet meal, but a Good meal. We had the large testing menue. The tuna and mozzarella stuck out and also the dessert. I got a feeling the place lost some of the genuine spark.

Perfect tapas and good service ????

The octopus and the rice really good. And the secreto with foia Amazing
